Last week, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson partnered with the Salvation Army to donate $100,000 to cleanup and recovery efforts after devastating flash flooding in Peterson’s hometown of Palestine, Texas.

Initially, he committed to making up to another $100,000 in matching donations. In an interview that will be aired on Friday’s edition of PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, Peterson said that he has removed the limit and will now match all donations, regardless of amount.

We’re calling on all Vikings fans who frequent the site to donate $20. And we’re calling on all the Packers fans who troll the Vikings fans in the comments section (and vice versa) to donate $20 as well.

And we’re calling on everyone to listen to Friday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio to hear the conversation with Adrian Peterson. If you’ll be unable to listen live, we’re calling on you to subscribe to the podcast at iTunes or audioBoom,

I would seriously like to implore Viking fans to be cautious when making donations to charity when Adrian Peterson is involved.
I realize your hearts are in the right place, but he’s already been proven extremely untrustworthy in this area.

If you’d like to send a real message, donate your $28 to a children’s abuse center, or other charitable organization where you’ll know the funds are being used properly.

WOW, Great going AP. I’ve always known your heart was in the right place. Great gesture, I have been and will always be a VERY PROUD Minnesota VIKINGS FAN (and I live in Chicago-yuck!!!). On another note, I still can’t believe people are making these snarky remarks. Really??? Is it necessary to do this? Why say anything at all? This is a good thing being done for people in NEED!! If you can’t say something nice, why say anything at all? What would your mothers say???

Wow, the trolls are still out in force. The irony is that AP is doing more to alleviate suffering in this action than the trolls will do in their entire lives.

He should. He’s already caused more suffering than I have in my entire life.

Packers trolling Vikings on monetary/economic issues is LOL material. Their entire economy relies on their residents to cross the borders for job in other states. If All the packer trolls on this site combined their saving and sold off all of what they owned it might buy a bag of chips.

While AP continues to atone for something he learned as a child, think about that, because I don’t think many do, the rest of the NFL world and it’s fans go on and continue to judge and do all their nasty little abuses while hiding behind their keyboards. He is trying to do something good, and people just keep trying to bring him down. I’m glad he’s not letting that stop him. Again I say, GOOD FOR YOU, AP. Please continue to do good work on and off the field. The Minnesota Vikings are proud of how hard you have come back!! Thank you!!! I’m sure Texas is very, very thankful as well!!!

Don’t doubt it. I can assure you I have never whipped another person until they bled, a child no less, and inadvertently whacked his testicles in the process. Nope. I never did that. Very few people have, but this guy did.

The only reason Viking fans want to forgive him and ask others to forgive him is because he’s a star athlete! That’s it! That’s what is important to these “fans.” You can’t slice it any other way.

If he were a nobody from Whittier or Downtown West, he’d still be in jail until nobody remembered his name.
